Craft brewer Innis & Gunn is to reopen one of its pubs with 26 beers on tap after a major refurbishment.

Small Scottish breweries and craft beers from all over the world will be served alongside the firm's own products.
Dougal Gunn Sharp, Innis & Gunn founder and master brewer, said: “It’s been almost four years since we opened our first bar and we’ve had the best time welcoming beer fans from all over the world through the doors. Our Innis & Gunn Brewery Taproom is the next evolution, and follows our successful rebrand in late 2017.
“It’s a place where our fans and craft beer drinkers can see under the bonnet of who we are and what makes us tick.
“We have added more capacity to our brew school too. It’s been constantly sold out since we started offering courses two years ago and now with extra capacity we can meet the surging demand from beer fans who want to learn how to brew some classic Innis & Gunn beer styles.”
Innis & Gunn's pubs in Dundee and Glasgow are to get a similar revamp this summer as the brewer presses ahead with building its new brewery and visitor centre in Edinburgh.
Gunn said: “Retail is a key pillar of our strategic plan to hit £40 million turnover by 2021, and continues to be an area we believe has huge potential commercially and in terms of brand recruitment and value.
"Our plan is to roll out the Innis & Gunn Brewery Taproom identity and brand experience across our current Beer Kitchen sites in Glasgow and Dundee over the summer.
"Expansion remains part of our longer term retail strategy, and the plans for our new brewery to open in Edinburgh in the next two years will include an onsite visitor centre and taproom, establishing a new craft beer destination in Scotland."
The Innis & Gunn Brewery Taproom in Lothian Road opens on Friday, March 29.
